how to install c++ in windows 7


1. Install the software DOSBox version 0.74

2. Create a folder, for example Turbo. (c:\Turbo\)

3. Download and extract TC into the Turbo folder (c:\Turbo\)

4. Run the DOSBox 0.74 from the icon located on the desktop
5. Type the following commands at the command prompt [Z]:

mount d c:\Turbo\ (The folder TC is present inside the folder Turbo)

Now you should get a message which says: Drive D is mounted as a local directory c:\Turbo\
6. Type d: to shift to d:
7. Next, execute the following commands:

cd tc

cd bin

tc or tc.exe (This starts you the Turbo C++ 3.0)

8. In the Turbo C++ goto Options>Directories> Change the source of TC to the source directory [D] (i.e. virtual D: refers to original c:\Turbo\. So make the path change to something like D:\TC\include and D:\TC\lib respectively.)
